I just took a automatic 85 apart for parts. What a  pain the throttle
linkage was.You need that, the shifter and shift rod.The throttle cable
assembely has a linkage to go to the trans so it can kick down. You need
new cv axels. A trans, flex plate,torque convertor, throttle adapter for
automatic.Wiring harness for the neutral start switch and lights in the
shift housing,trans mount,A new hole in the floor?? new heater box lower
cover,starter motor,bleeder valve for automatic(1.9,dont know about 2.1)
hoses to cooler on trans.Maybe more.I saved it all.62K miles on all.Sell it
as a package. No trans,or bleeder valve, but I got the final drive.No
wiring harness.It is all temporiarily lost, as I had to move all my stuff,
and I have to sort the boxes out.I do know where that final drive is.
Anybody interested, let me know.Final drive is HEAVY, but UPS will take it.
Forward air is best for all this stuff in one lot.Roger
